Yizhi521 of TF08.net has posted a photo of the new Voyager-class Starscream figure (previously seen here) in vehicle mode, giving us our first look at the actual toy. Yizhi states the clearer photos will be coming shortly.

See Starscream's jet mode in the original thread here.

Looks good. I suppose that we will be getting even more pictures within the next few weeks.

I don't know if I will buy it however.

interesting...from a distance the runes look like camouflage.

The toy looks cool and is is certainly on the "Want" list since I only got Thundercracker on the first go-around, and the thought of him having the same jet look with a different transformation from TC sounds cool, but how much damage will it do to my already depleted wallet now that the prices are going up! As it stands now I'll be holding out for 2 deluxe class figures between now and the end of the year (Soundwave and Drift) and Starscream isn't fitting into that category.

Ill have to wait for more pics. I like the mold and adding to my seeker collection but if theres not enough difference from the first one then theres no point.

Look wise, the runes all over him isn't enough to get me at this point, since I already have the Voyager class from the first movie(Deep Space one and G1 colors). I'll wait for a review before deciding one way or the other.

Hmmmm.....looks like parts of his hands are hanging outts the rear of the plane there. Couldn't hide 'em all the way I guess. I'm still pretty stoked for this toy though, looks better than the original from what I've seen so far.

I think they're his feet.

Overall, considering he looks like a repainted - retooled version of the first movie toy, I'll pass.

So since we're getting a voyager class Starscream, any chance we'll be seeing a leader class version as well? Or are Prime and Megatron the only two who get both the voyager and leader treatment?

I dunno, looks like a new mold to me. The top of the plane on this one looks like it has panels that cover things up, the original had alot of gaps on the top.

ill wait to see him in robot mode & close ups to make decision right now its pass until then

I already own Deep Space Starscream and the original one. If anything, I will probably prevent myself from buying it in order to save up for the $100 Devestator Gift Set.

Eh...doesn't look like a necessary upgrade of the character/toy.

Agree.

In alt mode, the upgrades are almost too subtle and in robot mode, the issues that plagued the last one aren't addressed enough. They really just needed a really great leader version.
